Rogers POV
The next day:
I woke up at 5:32am, fucking 5:32!!
I don't know why I did, I just sorta opened my eyes and couldn't fall back asleep. I usually sleep in until 9:00 when I don't have any early classes and even when I do have classes I usually skip them. It was starting to become a problem, aswell. I'm failing all my classes, except biology. That's the only class I'm acing. The only reason I'm acing it, is because I actually sort of enjoyed it. I just found it really interesting. Man, I sound like a fucking nerd.

I may as well go for walk. I have nothing better to do.
I grabbed my coat and slipped on my pink converse and headed out the door quietly so I didn't wake Mike.
I walked down the walkway as a few street lamps lit my way. Suddenly I started to hear music in the distance.
It sounded like a guitar.
I walked towards the music thinking who would be out here at 5:30. As the music got closer I looked up into the distance and squinted my eyes. I saw a curly haired man sitting on a bench plucking at an acoustic guitar. "Brian..." I whispered to myself smiling.

I walked towards him sitting myself on the bench beside him. He slowly looked up at me with a smile on his face that made me shiver. "Hey Rog, what're you doing out here at this time?" He said almost whispering. "I just couldn't get to sleep so I decided to go for a walk. So...whatcha playin'" I said plucking a few of his guitar strings. "Ah, nothin' much just a little song I wrote" he replied.
"Ooh can I hear it?" I asked with hope. "Sure why not." He said starting to play a lovely tune on his guitar. "It's not finished yet." He said looking up at me from his guitar. I looked back up at him and just smiled. Then he started to sing.

"Yesterday my life was in ruin, now today I know what I'm doing, gotta feeling I should be doing alright..."
God, he sounds so beautiful. I wish I could stay here forever looking into his eyes. I really don't know why I'm feeling this way, I've just met him yet, I feel like I've known him forever. He just seems so nice, like he wouldn't hurt anyone, ever. I wish he knew how I felt about him. But he would never feel the same.
"Alright, that's about all I've got for now." He said.
"It's beautiful, Brian." I said probably with the biggest smile on my face.
"Oh thanks." He said blushing. "You know what else is beautiful?"
"What?" I replied hoping for a response that was repeating in my mind.
"Oh...I...uh." He stopped for a moment almost trying to think about what he had just said. "Th-the sunrise, isn't it beautiful." He continued, pointing at the sunset with an embarrassed smile on his face.
"Oh...yes, Brian it's beautiful." I said a bit disappointed. There was a few moments of silence between the two of us that was soon broken by Brian saying. "Oh well, I better be heading back... it was great to see you again Rog. You better be coming to auditions this morning." Brian said getting up off the bench. "Oh yeah I'll be coming, don't you worry." I said giggling back at him.
"Alright then. See ya soon." He waved at me and started walking away.
"Bye." I said waving back.

Brian's POV
'Jesus fucking Christ what was that? I may as well get down on one knee and propose for God's sake.'
That was too close. I almost told Roger he was beautiful.

I walked down the path to my dorm examining every crack in the walkway. I soon entered my room where Tim was still sleeping. I set down my guitar by the door, took a seat on my bed placing my head in my hands and looking over at my clock that read 6:56.
'I don't know how I could be so stupid, Roger could never fancy me. We just met. This is just a silly little crush.' These words kept repeating in my head, over and over again until 7:00 struck and Tim's alarm rang.
"Ay, turn that fuckin' thing off would ya Brian?" Tim said in a tired raspy voice.
"You gotta get up Tim, we have auditions soon. Remember?"
"Aw, shit right." Tim got up slowly
and started fumbling with his hair. "What time is it at, again?"
"8:00, but we should be there at 7:45 to set up the kit." I replied looking at him through the mirror he was using. "Is that chap you were talkin' about gonna be there? what's his name again?" Tim said looking back at me.
"Roger, and yes he'll be there."
"Great. I'm excited to meet him, you seem very interested in this boy." He said almost smirking at me. I rolled my eyes at him and told him to hurry up.
